Xp wont boot up, gives option of safe mode, safe mode with config, restore last work etc but none of these work? Any ideas

\015 Hi guys, my e4010 wont boot up, it has xp but it is asking for me to choose safe mode, safe mode with config, restore using last work etc but i have tried all these options and to no avail\015

Answers :

Hello,\015\012\015\012Will it allow you to enter the safe mode? If so, and you can choose help and then restore you can back up to a date before this problem began. It sounds as if the MBR (master boot record) is contaminated.\015\012\015\012If you made a set of restore discs when you got the computer, now is the time to use them. If you are lucky enough to have an original Windows disc, you can place that in the CD/DVD and go to the point where it asks if you want a complete install or repair an earlier on. Repair should do it, although it may still ask if you want to repair the MBR.\015\012\015\012There are other options too, one of which is using the D: partition on your hard drive which contains restore, to restore your computer to the same state in which you bought it. However, this will lose all your data, and you will only have the programs like when it was brand new. Let me know if none of these work.\015\012\015\012Sirwriter

I plugged in a Toshiba external storage device to my Satellite M505-S4940... the device was not recognized... then my wireless mouse pointer stopped working so I shut down the computer hoping to fix the mouse by rebooting.
When I turned the computer back on, it wouldn't reboot. It stopped at the first screen that asks to press F12 or F2 ... but those keys wouldn't work.
Finally, I put in the Geek Squad disk and tried to start the computer again. It worked one time, but when I shut down

Look this is a common problem.. What i want you to do is start the PC up in Safe Mode, at Boot up press F8, Then a Menu will come up. Now at the Top of the List you will see Boot up in Safe Mode. Choose that option and see if it boots through to the ...
